Re: Any experiences?
Same thing happened to me last August, I was more fortunate (depending on your perception, I don't think I was) to be given a GSF650 Blandit as a courtesy bike. I didn't particularly like it but I had to use it a lot as my insurers called at least once a week to ensure I was and confirm why I'd needed it, as even though the accident wasn't my fault I'm not allowed to cause undue expense to the third party.
The accident was on the Friday before the August Bank Holiday, damage wasn't too bad (bars, engine casing, mirrors, possibly the swingarm but not sure) but due to them having to wait for parts to arrive I didn't get it back until the day of the very last Taffia meet (07 October!).
I also had to attend several sessions of physio and then another doctor to evaluate my recovery, the compensation is mostly going to cover my increased insurance premiums as a result!
Just count your blessings you have something to ride on, and you'll appreciate your own bike all the more when you finally get it back.
